Introduction & Overview |
sjal Skincare is a brand of topical skincare products marketed as comprised of naturally occurring ingredients, including nutrients, herbal extracts and botanicals. The company says the products have been formulated to be powerful, yet safe, though this may not have necessarily been proven through clinical trials. Still, some of the ingredients may have some upside.
The company may claim these products are among the highest-quality anti-aging formulas on the market, but we note that many companies make similar claims – often without backing them up sufficiently. Clinical studies and consumer testimonials may be good indicators of a product’s potential. We will examine these products closely to see what their benefits may be.

| Products at a Glance |
According to the company’s official website, these four products may be available for purchase at time of review: Orbe, Cela Intuitif, Kura Intuitif and Serum 1. Orbe is characterized by the manufacturer as “a gentle, multi-tasking eye creme designed to lift the eye area and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.” Ingredients may include Vitamin E and Cucumber.
Serum 1 is advertised as capable of reducing the appearance of wrinkles, while doubling as a moisturizer. Ingredients may include: Peptide Complexes, Algae, Ceremides, Platinum, Potassium, Gold, Carrot Seed Oil, Copper, Vitamins B6 and B12, Vitamin C, Chitosan, Pomegranate, Grapeseed, Germanium, Mangosteen, Fig, Violet and Grapefruit.

| Products in Focus |
Cela Intuitif and Kura Intuitif, apparently sister products, are advertised as capable of protecting the skin from harsh environmental conditions and preventing over-dried and oily skin. Kura Intuitif may include Ceremides, Algae, Horseradish and vitamins and minerals. Cela Intuitif may consist of Pearl Powder Extract, Lecithin and Hyaluronic Acid, among others.
Hyaluronic Acid is believed to be one of the most powerful hydrators for the skin available today. Its power may come from its ability to retain moisture and water better than virtually any other substance known. Topical products based on Hyaluronic Acid may have a moisturizing effect, and they may offer secondary benefits, such as smoother and softer skin.

| Lifestyle |
We believe a quality product should come with both quality ingredients and a satisfactory customer experience; products backed poorly by underachieving companies may not be worth our time (or our money). For example, these products may not be purchased directly from the company at time of review. They must be purchased at stores scattered throughout the U.S.
We also note that the formula appears to be missing a number of premium ingredients believed to have good synergy with Hyaluronic Acid. These include Collagen, Argireline® and Matrixyl 3000®. This combination is said to provide some of the most powerful anti-aging effects, while promoting younger- and softer-looking skin – without any adverse reactions to worry about.

| Final Thoughts |
sjal Skincare may market itself as a high-end skincare products company, but we believe there may be more worthwhile places to turn to for reliable anti-aging products. As indicated by the four products marketed by this company, a product based on natural ingredients may not be enough in and of itself to be considered truly effective and worth using long-term.
Some women may all too easily become overwhelmed by advertisements and company-issued product descriptions – many of which may be misleading. That is where consumer testimonials would come into play. We find testimonials, or success stories allow women to share what their individual impression of any given product may have been, based on actual experiences. There are proven anti-aging formulas available online that are backed by many customer testimonials and come with a complete money-back guarantee.
